Spanish Connection, a Japanese group that traces the road of the gypsies from their origins in India to Andalucia, is comprised of three talented musicians, Yoshiteru Ito (flamenco guitar), Kana Hiramatsu (violin) and Masaki Yoshimi (tabla). At the roots of their sound is Spanish flamenco guitar, although virtuoso Ito is adept at jazz, bossa nova and other styles, which too find their way into the mix. They garnered an overseas reputation after performing at a world music event in Paris in June 2003.
